FM3 renewal

I'm sure this is not a new question, but I couldn't find the answer.<p>What is required to renew a FM3 (retirement)visa. I obtained my visa from the consulate office in Vancouver,but they don't do renewals and were unable to tell me precisely what paperwork is required to renew. They did tell me that I must renew in P.V. which is no problem. I am hoping to be able to gather all the required documentation while still in Canada as my spanish is kindergarten level. Any help would be appreciated.

I just did my second renewal and was required to provide the original and two copies of: My entire passport My entire FM3 A letter requesting the renewal – in Spanish Proof of income(US bank statements) – translated into Spanish by an approved translator Some money – I’ve forgotten how much<p>It is my understanding that others in other places have had slightly different requirements, so you should go to the office to inquire. I took a bi-lingual friend with me only to discover that the immigration guy spoke English. He was also very nice and quite helpful.

Renewals can only be made within the Mexican Republic.<p>I. Prepare a letter substantially in this form:<p>[date]<p>Instituto Nacional de Migracion Secretaria de Gobernacion PRESENTE<p>Estimado Lic. [Name of Delegado]<p>Re: Prorrogacion de FM-3<p>Mis datos: Nombre: Nacionalidad: Documento Migratorio del no inmigrante FM3 No. Lugar y fecha de internacion: Fecha de nacimiento: Lugar de nacimiento: Sexo: Estado civil: Pasaporte: E.U.A.<p> Solicito prorroga de mi documento migratorio FM-3 y manifiesto que soy NO INMIGRANTE VISITANTE RENTISTA, para lo cual acredito mi solvencia economica.<p>Gracias por su atencion.<p>Atentamente,<p>/s/ [Name, address, telephone]<p>II. Gather up these documents, in the original along with 2 photocopies.<p>A. Your green FM3 visa booklet. Copy all pages, including the blank ones. B. Your passport. C. Proof of monthly income. The INM will need to see copies of recent statements from a Mexican or foreign bank or financial institution showing regular monthly deposits equal to or above the equivalent of 250 minimum salaries (42.15 pesos a day) or approximately 1,145 dollars. This figure is reduced by 50 percent for owners of property in Mexico. Bring title deeds of property in applicant’s name to show as proof. For each dependant (spouse, child) included on the applicant’s FM3, the income requirement is an additional 125 Mexican minimum salaries or approximately 570 dollars. D. Marriage certificates of spouses and birth certificates of children who are included on the applicant’s visa must also be presented. These should be translated into Spanish and notarized, if they not Mexican in origin. E. Comprabante de domicilio. Proof of address in Mexico, such as telephone, water or electricity receipt (not more than 90 days old).<p>III. Once you’re back home in Mexico, go to a stationary store and buy 3 copies of the form SAT-5. There should be someone at the INM who will fill it out for you. Take the form to the bank and pay the fee of $963 M.N. Return to the INM with the form, which is your receipt.<p>IV. Usually, you’ll have to fill out an application form for your first renewal, and that’s available at the INM.<p>V. After your documents have been accepted by the INM, you will be given a receipt from INM, showing that your renewal is in process. Hold on to that! You’ll need to show that document if you’re driving and stopped by the Fiscal Police asking for your FM-3 while it’s in renewal. <p>VI. The INM will notify you when your renewal is ready. <p>Each office of the INM has a slightly different procedure and time frame.
